Depression and Cancer cells

I was experimenting with two of my students (Maggy Maged and Christine Zarif) a visual mosaic project in a workshop under the title of (Depression and Cancer cells). I got this idea after reading some of latest academic articles which I found in some scientific journals.The fact that sugar is one of the most dangerous materials that activates cancer cells inspired me as an artist. And, one of the topics that I read about and inspired me as well was about depression and its treatments.

In this workshop I preferred hyper realism sculpting depending totally on our own mosaic materials which we created ourself, especially for this project. we made it from sugar, salt, epocsy , nails , cement and silicon. we used these materials instead of usual materials like marble, ceramics, smalti, etc. we have chosen each material for a reason, either a visual or a conceptual one, which aims to transform these researches into a touchable and visual art pieces.

I am happy because this mosaics was the result of the workshop, and my students exhibited their work at 1st Edition of the International Competition PREMIO AIMC STUDENTI (PAS) in Italy !
